Chapter 144 - Home sweet home (V)
"Our destiny, our responsibility, our sacred duty to rule." - Daenerys I Targaryen, looking at the monstrosity that was the Iron Throne.
--------
Seeing the fury of the people, Daenerys smiled. As long as the people hated Robert, she felt that controlling the city would be much simpler. Now, she just needed to show that she cared and would take care of everything regarding King's Landing.
"King's Landing will be House Targaryen's fiefdom again. The Sardaukar and the troops of House Velaryon will be responsible for the security of the city. At the same time, I will ask Lord Mace Tyrell to send food to the city." Daenerys spoke with a gentle, elegant tone. She looked at the people and flashed a beautiful smile. She knew very well that her own appearance was a great weapon for confusing people's minds.
Listening to Daenerys' words, people didn't care about King's Landing returning to the hands of House Targaryen; they only cared about the safety and food that Daenerys promised. If it had been before, maybe those two things wouldn't have seemed like such a big deal, but after experiencing the previous chaos, people realized how good it was to be guaranteed safety and basic food.
So when Daenerys declared that she would protect them and bring them food, their affection for this beautiful young queen rose dramatically to extremely high levels. If Daenerys continued to be a good monarch, the people might even grant her an epithet like The Kind or The Merciful.
"Long live Queen Daenerys!" a woman from Chitaya's Brothel shouted in the crowd. As soon as she spoke, the rest of the people followed her and started cheering Daenerys' name.
"Long live the queen!!!"
"Long live the queen!!!"
"The Savior of King's Landing!!!"
Daenerys looked at the woman in the crowd and winked at her, thanking her subordinate for taking the first step.
